Babywearing in Cold Weather

I was given an Eddie Bauer structured baby carrier (sort of like Baby Bjorn) but I am wondering if there are better options out there, preferably something that could be used in very cold weather. Let me know what works well for you.

I use a home made wrap somewhat like the Moby. I got instructions off of www.wearyourbaby.com. What I do is I put him in the wrap, then I have a coat that's way too big for me that I got while pregnant, I just zip it up over him so he and I are both in the same coat and he has my body heat keeping him warm on top of it. If we're getting in the car I'll sit in the back seat next to his car seat and pull him out of the wrap there to put him in his seat. It works great for both me and DH so far, and it's starting to get pretty darn cold here in Michigan. We've had it freeze a few times and it's usually somewhere between 30 and 45 in the mornings when DH takes my older boy to school right now.

We have a Bjorn with the cover -- as PP said, the cover would probably work with any carrier. We've had LO out for 2 parades in ND with it so far this fall. We put socks or gloves on his hands and then the cover over all of him. Its warm and blocks the wind too.
